I don't know guys, I just haven't fallen in love with it yet.
Another thing is that the guys with the v6 mx-3 have it alot easier than
people with the 4 cyl sohc or dohc mx-3. I think if I had the 6cyl one I
wouldn't go more than a foot away from my car at all times. The only option
for us is the bp swap which is still very limited in modifications, which kinda sucks.

I love the look of the back of the car but in saying that I feel the need to modify my hood. Is that rice? I also like the sports car feel, the dependability and that torque thing at 4000 rpm.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

...There are many reasons...
I really like that it only has 4 windows (not counting the 3rd brake light mini window)
...Most people think it is newer than a 1993
...Semi-rare
Basically zzzoomx3 sums it up!

On a side note, I really want to get a v6 MX-3 now, after hearing a KL-swapped escort wagon on the dyno...I KNOW why you GS guys love the v6 motors! The sound was awsome :2thumbsup: Wish I had my camera...It put down ~250whp and ~300lb/ft ...that is with nitrous :wink:

1st thing you should remember when you look at the MX3
This car was designed in the year 1991 ... have you seen the cars made then ?
All those cars had to receive 1 , even 2 facelift's ... the MX3 received none
It was not because Mazda went bankrupt... it was because the car did not need a facelift.
It was allready years ahead of the other's

2nd thing you can look at ...
This car is affordable, great handling, good power and it still has some gadgets ...
I mean, a car made in 1991 with stock :
A/C, cruise control, folding mirrors, headlight washers, 4ws, power windows, a great trunk ... i mean ... come on ... a CRX ? :lol:

I agree 100% with Outlaw. In terms of styling... and in the very early 90's when the MX came out, there isn't a car I can really even recall that had the curves, and overall styling as the MX-3, unless it was very expensive, and a car companies' flagship sports car. The MX was way ahead of its time in terms of outer and inner styling, and even the handling to a good degree.

And one question for all you guys.... Is it just me, but when you look at the last model Toyota Supra.. doesn't it seem to be a MX-3 maxed out to the tilt on steriods?
If you fall, then get back up........Luck favors the prepared

I like the styling. Doesnt look too old. The headlights suck but can be replaced.
I love the color black and a 5% to 0% on the hatch (thats what i have).

The handling is great. I like how light the MX3 is, yet that the MX3 is a V6 (mine is). KLZE engine coming soon, cant wait to have high reving V6 sounding exhaust.

Oh yeah, most people dont believe its a V6

What I like about the MX-3..

1. it is rare vehicle on the roads
2. like the black colour of mine
3. love the smallest displacement V6 engine and its sound
4. the car perfectly fits my physical frame (I'm not too tall) :)
5. shape - still attractive

6. I will like it more with A/C, cruise control, airbag and maybe auto-tranny :)
